The news just broke that Julian Assange will play himself on the 500th episode of The Simpsons, which is set to air on February 19.
Julian Assange has announced that he’s going to have his own TV show, where he’ll interview “key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries”, and it’s going to be hitting the screens this year. Is there anything this man won’t do?
Yesterday we reported how Wikileaks has uncovered a global network of surveillance companies for hire. Now Assange is telling it like it is.
Is it flattering to have people mistake you for Julian Assange? That’s what happened to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who confused UK border controls when they thought the Wikipedia man was notorious international man of mystery Assange.
Yes, really. Stainless Steel Rat follows a determined film director’s struggle to bring Assange’s story to the big screen. A fictional film within a play, if you will. So does it rate? And how deep does the script dive into the WikiLeaks story?
Parodying the “priceless” Mastercard ad would’ve been funny enough, but once you remember Mastercard was one of the companies that refused to honour donations to Wikileaks, it makes Julian Assange’s video all the more effective.
Wikileaks has released a video showing the appalling conditions Julian Assange is facing while under house arrest. In fact, the only differences I see between his enforced lifestyle and a blogger’s life is the daily sign-ins at the local police-station.
